Out of the Ordinary

While visiting the beautiful state of South Dakota, I decided to take advantage of some photo ops with the kids.  I have to admit I took more pics on this trip than any other…..mountains, rocks, trees, more mountains, wild animals, water, 4 kids!!  There was just so much to capture!!!  Of course taking pics of all of my kids at once is not an easy task at all, but I did it and these are just a few to share….

   Now instead of having to make the time to take all the kids to a portrait studio and spend a ridiculous about of money on a couple pics that are ok, I now have a large collection to choose from with very natural backgrounds.  The great thing is I can crop, edit, colorize, etc and get the exact picture I want…..plus I just buzz up to Costco and a 8x10 copy is just $1.50, buy a half price frame from Hobby Lobby, and I have myself a masterpiece without the expense of a portrait studio!!     July 2009 017 frame
